Transit of Venus
Next week is a very important and rare scientific event: a transit of Venus. I first read about this phenomenon in Bill Bryson’s book A Short History of Nearly Everything.

After the transit, he opened his sealed orders and learned he was to try to find the rumoured “Terra Australis.” And here we are!
